[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1810323, member: 396914"] OK, took out one module, tried booting with the Option key, selected the drive when it appeared and then waited. And waited. No beeps, but it was stuck on an Apple on a grey background for about 20 minutes. Took out the one module, replaced it with the first one I removed, same result. No beeps, no boot. Oh, and in both one-module configurations I booted to HS no problem. So I put both back in, booted HS, then booted into Apple Hardware Test and am now running the extended test that it says may take an hour. So, two memory modules, three beeps, no boot. One memory module, no beep, no boot. I'll report back when the AHT is done. Not looking good to get back to SL on that machine at this point. And for Bob, I tried the C key and got the same results as the Option. No beep with one module, no boot. Two modules in, three beeps, no boot. [/QUOTE]
